Saturday 24th September – is it referees or refereeing that’s the problem ?

Posted on September 25, 2011 by jgrady12345

Another weekend dominated by ‘controversial refereeing decisions’ passes by. Similar to last weekend, they are not necessarily ‘crucial’ decisions, but a whole bunch, which, in my opinion were wrong yet again. I’m starting at Manchester City v Everton. Here, in … Continue reading →

Spurs v Liverpool 18th September 2011 – a complete disaster

Posted on September 18, 2011 by jgrady12345

I would have to look back at my blog and see if I can find a worse performance by Liverpool since I’ve started writing this. Certainly, I can’t imagine that there would be a worse 45 minutes than the first … Continue reading →

The arch-hypocrite strikes again

Posted on September 7, 2011 by jgrady12345
